Dynamic Dual-personality Overdrive

Inspired by the greatest tube amps of the vintage era, the Maestro Ranger Overdrive is as expressive and pick sensitive as any classic amplifier. Boasting all-analog circuitry that faithfully replicates true tube tones, the Ranger is an amazingly versatile dirt pedal that comes loaded with two distinct tonal settings. The first setting is an exceptional re-creation of classic tube overdrive that works just as great standing alone or blended with your amp’s natural breakup. Looking for an “always-on” dynamic sound? The second setting is a cleaner tone that Sweetwater guitarists find highly reactive to pick attack and your guitar’s volume controls. Intuitive Level, Gain, and Tone knobs will be instantly familiar to any guitarist, all adding up to a pedal that’s a fantastic plug-and-play solution for all your overdrive needs.

Two distinct tonal settings

Overdrive comes in such a wide variety of flavors and functions that Maestro loaded the Ranger up with not one, but two glorious overdrive voices. For those who prefer a more traditional, high-octane overdriven sound, the first setting perfectly captures the essence of a cranked-up and screaming tube amp tone. Looking for something that’s a little less extreme? The second setting brilliantly covers the low-to-mid-gain territory with exceptional touch and volume control sensitivity. Maestro designed this highly versatile second mode to integrate some of your clean signal into the dirty tone — the sound is so clear and articulate that you’ll never want to turn it off!

Simple 3-knob layout

As guitar pedals become more and more complicated, it’s a welcome change of pace to see Maestro offering a simple and intuitive pedal layout that’s still endlessly versatile. If you’ve used an overdrive pedal before, then the Ranger will be second nature to you, with Gain, Tone, and Level controls that will have you dialing in your dream tone right out of the box.

  • Inspired by legendary vintage amps for authentic tube overdrive sounds

Rated 5/5

Ranger Overdrive.

It's a very good overdrive and compresses the signal in a very neat fashion. The only draw back is that it won't stack well with other heavily compressed pedals.
Rated 4/5

Good Low Gain Overdrive

This overdrive pedal is a great low gain overdrive. It stacks well with other overdrive pedals and does a great job of enhancing a tube amp's natural breakup. Placing a boost pedal in front of it will help push the overdrive to breakup more. The output of your guitar's pickups will also affect the drive tone. Hotter pickups will push the pedal harder to give it a dirtier sound.
